Halloween Treat: Shia LaBeouf Directs, Kid Cudi Scores ‘Maniac’!!

We’ve got a very special Halloween treat that comes courtesy of Shia LaBeouf, who has been dabbling in directing over the past year. This summer he took the reigns on Marilyn Manson’s new video “Born Villain”, and now he’s given Bloody Disgusting an exclusive look at “Maniac”, his short film starring both Scott Mescudi (aka Kid Cudi) and Chris Palko.

In the short a film crew follows two serial killers documenting their exploits. You can watch it over at the Bloody Disgusting Facebook. It’s very reminiscent of Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer.

Music and Score provided by Scott Mescudi amd Dot Da Genius. The short is a Grassy Slope & Ragin4Dayz Production in Association with Dilated Pixels. Executive Produced by Scott Mescudi & Shia LaBeouf. Produced by Jeff Balis, T.J. Sakasegawa, Rhoades Rader.
